The full Indiana Senate is set to hear and vote on HJR3, the bill that would place a ban on same-sex marriage into the state constitution.
The Senate Rules Committee approved an amended version of the bill which does not include a ban on civil unions - and therefore does not match the version passed by the last legislature.
IF the amended version passes today, the earliest a ban could be placed on the public ballot will be 2016.
Republicans hold a large majority over Dems (37-13) in the Senate, so passage of the bill is fairly assured. Best hope is for the amended ban to pass.
Stay tuned.
